Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the minority of Bohemond III, who was only 11 years old when he ascended to the throne of the Principality of Antioch in 1149. Despite his young age, Bohemond III was able to maintain stability in the principality and issue coins in his name, which is a testament to the political and economic systems in place during that time.
